Our boys: 6 mo & 3 1/2 yrs

 Emmitt: Half a year!!  

It's hard to believe its been 6 months already, however it feels like he's been with us always. Emmitt is such a happy, happy baby.  Smiles like crazy, and is pretty content with whatever.  Although he is developing likes and dislikes and lets you know if he dislikes something!  For instance, putting onsies on him...  He yells at you.  Sleeping... He doesn't do it.  But there are only a few things he doesn't like so overall, very happy boy :)  He is definitely beginning to move around more.  He gets himself on his tummy almost always and then scoots himself around like crazy.  And quickly!  There have been a few times he has been up on all 4's and started rocking, but no crawling yet. He is trying with all his might to get himself pulled up on furniture. We still think he may bypass crawling and just start standing and walking.  He LOVES to "walk" around and be standing.  Probably his most favorite thing to do.  Although he really loves his baths too!  He gets so excited when we are running the water and just splashes and plays in there. 

He is not a big fan of sitting (see picture below).  This kid wants to catch up to his big brother as soon as possible!!  He absolutely loves Aiden.  Watches him like a hawk and if he is ever a little testy all we have to do is call Aiden over and his mood is instantly fixed.  The bond developing between those two is incredible.  By far the greatest thing about being a mommy....watching my babies love each other :)

E loves to be vocal now.  He enjoys yelling, spitting, saying "Da-Da" and "A-den" and lately "H-iiii".  We really think he is saying Aiden.  He only makes that "A-den" or "Den" sound when he sees his brother.  :)

Solids are a big hit with him.  We do breakfast, lunch, and supper.  So far I have to say bananas are the favorite. It's becoming harder and harder to nurse this little man because he does not have the time for such silly baby things.  He has places to go, people to smile at.   

Besides not sleeping for naps or nighttime, he is a pretty easy baby.  Happy and smiley.  It's only been 6 months, but he has already brought us so, so much happiness.  Even Aiden is really starting to take a liking to him :)

 (I gave him a toy to get him to at least sit for a minute.  He does love his toys!)

 Loves to have that mouth open wide!!

 

I want to MOVE!

 Sitting up like a big boy :) This was a big milestone for him in the last several weeks. 

Favorite thing to do..

Aiden: 3 1/2 YEARS!

This kid.  He. Is. Awesome.  He is smart, funny, witty, passionate, stubborn, brave, dramatic, sensitive, bull-headed, and loving.   He climbs on everything.  Jumps off everything.  Tests the limits on everything. And gives the best hugs. :)  His brain is a steel trap.  Once something enters... it does not leave!  He loves music.  He sings and dances to anything from Singing in the Rain to Timba to Justin Beiber. His imagination is crazy awesome. He loves to dress up as Spiderman, Firemen, Police Men, farmers, and construction workers. Spiderman is his number one fave right now though.  He dresses himself most days and it is seriously awesome. Check out my next post, Ill prove it to you :) 

Aiden challenges us every day, but he has the qualities of a leader, a trail-blazer.  He is going to be something big when he is a man.  Guaranteed.

He also, much like his little brother, does not enjoy letting his parents sleep.  But also, much like his little brother, has brought so, so much joy and happiness into our lives. 

My heart is full.
